Mets Links: 

The Mets are home today to take on the Miami Marlins. Game Time: 1:10 PM with Jacob deGrom on the mound. 

NY Post: Mets set date to unveil Tom Seaver statue at Citi Field. “The Mets have set July 22 as the date for a dedication ceremony, a source confirmed Friday, pending capacity increases and the Seaver family’s ability to travel.”

Sports Illustrated.com: Jacob deGrom Isn't as Unlucky as You Think. “There are 49 active pitchers who have endured 50 or more starts with two runs or less. deGrom is nowhere near the worst afflicted when it comes to the percentage of such bad-luck starts.”

The Ringer: Francisco Lindor Is the Face of the Mets’ Future. He’s Also Unlike Anything in Mets Fans’ Past.  ”He is a breath of fresh air, a Face of Baseball in Queens if there ever was one. He joins a roster that is teeming with young stars in Conforto, Dom Smith, Jeff McNeil, and Pete Alonso—the kind of core that, dare I say, could rival even that of 1986. If the Mets do this right, the greatness the franchise enjoys will no longer be fleeting, confined to tentpole moments that crop up from dumb luck, player development, or both. It will be—for the first time in Mets history—sustainable.”

Amazing Avenue: Francisco Lindor, Luis Rojas, Miguel Castro, and Joey Lucchesi get COVID-19 vaccine publicly. Four Mets had their photos published by the team as they received COVID-19 vaccines following the team’s home opener.

Rising Apple: Mets rotation will feature three former Blue Jays later this season. Marcus Stroman, Taijuan Walker and Noah Syndergaard.

Rising Apple: Dominic Smith’s development hinges on being in the starting lineup.

The Mets Police: Buffalo Bisons upgrading field to be MLB ready! “The Buffalo Bisons today announced that they will begin the 2021 Triple-A season in Trenton, NJ (at the home of the Trenton Thunder), while the Bisons and Toronto Blue Jays complete a joint renovation project to prepare Sahlen Field for Major League regular season games. The Bisons Home Opener is scheduled for Tuesday, May 4 against the Worcester Red Sox.”

Agee HR...everyone says it wasn’t televised. I saw it, though.

deGrom not as unlucky as we thought...but still plenty unlucky. Nice SI article.

So...Jake needs to win big today. Mets should hit...why not...Reds are sure hitting a ton.

Congrats to Joe Musgrove on no-no.

Lance Lynn went 9; Musgrove obviously had to. Cueto went 8.2. How can their guys pitch passed the 8th inning and our aces come out after 6?

Great question Gus. Tom Seaver's Mets record of 21 complete games in one season will never be broken.

This team is hugely disappointing.
